The team of writer Mark Russell, Mike Allred and Laura Allred have created a unique take on The Man of Steel with the Eisner Award-nominated “Superman: Space Age,” dropping one of DC’s foundational Super Heroes into the real-world historical and cultural events of the 1960’s.

On March 26, the trio are poised to deliver an equally distinctive take on Batman, with the launch of their new DC series, “Batman: Dark Age.”

In an origin story like no other readers will witness how Bruce Wayne, Gotham City’s favorite delinquent son, evolves into its protector, shaped by a city in turmoil, marching towards prophesied doom.

In the hands of these acclaimed and talented storytellers, Gotham City comes alive like never before, filled with the iconic characters that have loved and hated Batman over the years.

In “Batman: Dark Age,” fans get an opportunity to see Batman as a figure in American history, fighting for justice in a world gone mad.

The debut issue of “Batman: Dark Age” is available for pre-order now and arrives in participating comic book shops and e-tailers on Tuesday, March 26. Issue no.1 features main and variant covers by Mike and Laura Allred, and variant covers by fan-favorite artists Yanick Paquette and Frank Quitely.

Visit your local comic book shops for further details and pre-ordering. If you missed “Superman: Space Age,” the collected edition softcover is available  for pre-order now at participating comic book stores and book sellers and on sale April 30.
